Talent Development

Hanwha Ocean developed an education and training system to achieve the company’s management goals under Hanwha’s core values of “challenge, dedication, and integrity.” We also secured a talent development model by linking the employee competency system with the training system. We will establish a systematic education and training roadmap to foster talented employees in the short- and medium-term. We conducted an employee satisfaction survey to assess their level of satisfaction every time we provide training by position. As such, we work hard to improve our training programs by managing the performance indicators of the programs.

Improvement of
Organizational Culture

Hanwha Ocean strives to promote mutual understanding and communication between management and employees and among employees through diverse communication channels and programs. We renewed our previous activities, such as the Junior Board and mutual understanding workshops, to improve corporate culture, and created new programs such as Business & Culture Partner (B&CP) and town hall meetings.

Work-life balance

Hanwha Ocean supports our employees to strike a balance between work and family life through pre- and post-natal leave, parental leave for spouse’s childbirth, reduced working hours for childcare, and parental leave to ensure maternity protection as well as a staggered commute system.

Staggered commute system

Hanwha Ocean operates a staggered commute system to create a flexible work culture, improve the autonomy and sense of responsibility among employees, and enhance their work engagement and work-life balance. The staggered commute program allows employees to arrive at work at 7, 8, or 9 AM instead of their conventional working hours, helping them strike a work-life balance and take control of their working hours. With the system in place, our employees feel more satisfied at work and can increase a sense of responsibility for their work. By giving them the flexibility to work when they are most productive, it can also contribute to increasing their work efficiency. The staggered commute system, which is available to all employees, was actively used by approx. 47% of our employees as of 2023.

Organizational culture assessment survey

The Hanwha Group conducts an organizational culture assessment survey for employees each year to identify the strengths and areas of improvement regarding the organizational culture. The survey largely consists of 56 diagnostic questions covering organizational commitment and eight areas affecting organizational commitment (leadership, atmosphere, awareness & attitude, relationship & communication, HR system, strategy, structure, and process).
